Ever since a bad experience with alcohol a couple of years ago, i have been having verystrong reactions whenever i drink. Before this incident, i did have some kind of reaction to alcohol, having a red face and increased heart beat. Now, i have the same symptoms, butin addition if feel very ill to the stomach and have the need to regurgitate the alcohol. I do notfeel drunk at all during this experience, which occurs from as little as 1/2 a bottle of alcohol.I am a male from an asian background, so i am aware that many other people like me havea low tolerance to alcohol. Have i developed a violent allergy to alcohol? Am i now intolerant of this substance now? Isthere any way for treatment of such an allergy/intolerance?
